The Incoherent Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Free Electrons

Abstract

In this paper the incoherent scattering of an electromagnetic wave by free electrons is examined theoretically. Under the assumption that the electrons have a Maxwellian velocity distribution, the scattered power and its frequency spectrum are calculated. The applicability of these results to ionospheric and laboratory plasmas is discussed.
